The photograph is ethereal and inviting to wander beyond to find some sort of heavenly site. Beautiful photography. I also love this line “There, the birds have memorized melodies older than the shape of my skeleton.”

Oh thanks! It was a very wet day on the Eagle Creek Trail. There was snow a little higher up. This is where a kid threw some fireworks on a very dry day at the end of this last year. That section in the photo is now burnt and inaccessible.
